It's probably worth finding a better font to display mail in Thunderbird. I mean the general display font it uses by default, not HTML authoring. For people doing technical mail, there's a bunch of hard to distinguish characters that are important to be able to tell apart, some fonts make it very hard. And reading formatted text output is wrecked by proportional fonts. I pick the "monospace" terminal font for the default font (it's actual name, not just its description), it solves that problem for me. Just some of the problem characters it makes easy to distinguish: il| 0O -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 (yes, this is the output from uname for this PC when I posted) Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
